The Book of Praise ‎#18

18. Through all the changing scenes of life

1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
in trouble and in joy,
the praises of my God shall still
my heart and tongue employ.

2 O magnify the Lord with me;
with me exalt God's name;
when in distress and fear I called,
God to my rescue came.

3 The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
deliverance God affords to all
who seek and hope and trust.

4 O taste and see that God is good:
experience will decide
how blest are they, and only they,
who in God's truth confide.

5 O Saints, fear God, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
make holy service your delight:
your wants shall be God's care.

6 The Lord preserves the souls of those
who on God's truth depend;
to them and their posterity
God's blessing shall descend.
